Just as an aside, I thought I should mention that you can find out about all the local festivals (fibre-related, of course) in much of the world that are currently going on. I try to keep you informed of any that I think someone here would like to attend, but I miss a few. You will find them here: http://fiberarts.org/calendar/ and if you hear of any that are not listed, please post them as well. This is too good to keep to ourselves!
